This speech inflam'd their hearts with heat & scorne
To be confronted thus, thus ouerborne
By a base villaine who did proudly brag on
The free protection of their foe the Dragon.
So with a full resolue, they all agree
Each for himselfe and his reueng to bee.
The Lyon takes, feet, head and throat away:
With those he walk't and like an Asse did bray.
The Eagle seaseth on his wings and taile,
With these he bird-like in the ayre did saile.
The Whale his body swallowes at a bit
Which he vs'de fish-like, diu'd and swam with it.
Thus Traytor-like hee's quarter'd out and caru'd;
Would land and water Pyrats were so seru'd.
